You woke up with a full to-do list and hit the ground running. Emails, errands, client work, family obligations — all of it pulling at you before you’ve even had your coffee.

But here’s the thing: being busy isn’t the same as being intentional.

If you’ve ever reached the end of a full, exhausting day and thought — wait, what did I actually accomplish? — this episode is for you. The problem isn’t that you’re not working hard enough. It’s that you’re pouring energy into a mountain of tasks without first anchoring back to the one thing that actually matters: your goal.

In this quick tip episode, Lianne Kim shares the single question she asks every client who comes to her feeling overwhelmed, scattered, or stuck in that relentless hamster-wheel energy. It takes two minutes. It costs nothing. And it will completely change the way you approach your day.

In‌ ‌this‌ ‌episode,‌ ‌you’ll discover:‌

• Why doing more tasks is not the same as making progress — and how to tell the difference
• The one question Lianne asks every overwhelmed client before anything else
• How to quickly audit your to-do list and identify what’s actually moving you toward your goal versus what’s just noise
• Why your most productive hours are probably being wasted on low-priority tasks — and how to fix it
• A simple two-minute exercise to reconnect with your goals and bring clarity back to your week

You’re doing the work. Showing up, serving clients, keeping the wheels turning. But somewhere between the invoices and the to-do lists, a quiet question keeps surfacing:

Is this it? Is this what I built all of this for?

Most of us got into entrepreneurship with a bigger vision in mind. A movement we wanted to lead. A life we wanted to design. An impact we knew we were capable of making. But the daily grind has a way of shrinking our thinking — until we’re so focused on what’s right in front of us that we’ve completely lost sight of where we’re actually headed.

In this solo episode, Lianne Kim gives you permission to step off the hamster wheel and look up. She walks through three distinct phases of the entrepreneurial journey — from building to “pre-tirement” to retirement — and invites you to start dreaming about what each one could look like for you. Not someday. Now.

Because if you can’t first dream it, you can’t possibly build it.

In‌ ‌this‌ ‌episode,‌ ‌you’ll discover:‌

• Why getting caught up in the daily grind quietly kills your bigger vision — and how to zoom back out
• The three phases of the entrepreneurial journey every business owner needs to be thinking about: building, pre-tirement, and retirement
• What “pre-tirement” actually looks like — and why it’s the phase most entrepreneurs never plan for (but desperately need)
• How to think about selling, passing on, or winding down your business so it becomes a financial legacy, not just a door you close
• A powerful visioning exercise to reconnect with the impact you’re here to make — and the number of lives you want to change

You've told yourself it's greedy to want more money. That you should just be grateful for what you have. That people with wealth are selfish — and you refuse to be one of them.

But what if that belief — the one you thought was keeping you humble — is actually keeping you stuck?

In this episode, Lianne Kim sits down with Chelsea Corea, CEO and Design Lead of EBO Design, who spent years quietly sabotaging her own success. She undercharged. She waited for sales before spending. She told herself wanting more money was shameful — a belief quietly passed down from the adults in her life, from church pews and dinner tables, absorbed long before she ever owned a business.

It wasn't until Chelsea started naming the belief — and doing the work to dismantle it — that everything changed. She raised her prices. She hired her first outside team member. And when a family tragedy hit, she had the support in place to take a week off without her business falling apart.

This episode is for every woman who has ever felt guilty for wanting more. Because wanting more isn't greedy. It's actually the most selfless thing you can do.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why the belief that 'wanting money is greedy' is one of the most harmful things holding women back in business.
• How childhood money messages silently shape adult behavior — and how to finally spot yours
• The real-world behaviors that reveal your hidden money blocks (hint: are you always waiting for the sale?).
• Simple daily practices — affirmations, gratitude, visualizations — that actually rewire how you think about money.
• Why charging more isn't about greed — it's about building a life and business that truly serves your family and community.
